Was it four hours for just the police or all first-responders? It looks like mom drove her to the hospital, and I assume did so almost immediately (because I can’t imagine a little kid surviving that kind of trauma without some advanced life support measures for very long,) but if EMS or fire/rescue didn’t show up for…

This remains something of a mystery to me in most cases. These sorts of clients are typically pretty dodgy about their circumstances (I’m not judging, mind you; I get their hesitation.) They don’t always understand or even believe how robust the attorney-client is, and so don’t often share with me the details of their…

100% know what you’re talking about. The (now passed away) members of my family that made up my grandparents’ generation used to very specifically distinguish between “los negros” and “los morenos/morenitos”. Bizarrely, my parents would also roll their eyes at this... but then turn around and refer to themselves as…

And because white America will never see them as equal they die owning loves of things, but having lost themselves.

Same; that BBC Global News Podcast is one of three or four podcasts in my feed that I have set to auto-download and auto-queue. To be fair to NPR, PRI’s The World is also very good... but they take a lot from BBC. I get listening to The World if what you’ve got is terrestrial radio, but with access to the internet, I…

But The View’s showrunners are reportedly seeking “a unicorn” who both resonates with mainstream Republicans yet doesn’t adhere to anti-vaxx conspiracies or “the big lie” surrounding Trump’s failed bid for reelection that led to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Karenga’s has long been accused of abusing Black women and was convicted of felony assault and false imprisonment in the torture of two Black women, also members of his organization, in 1970.

Aside from not being crazy

Even after sentencing, there are probably a host of appeals to come. At a minimum, I’d wager we’re looking at a Sixth Amendment IAF claim (and, to be fair, her attorneys arguing justification seemed like some weird hail Mary shit,) and probably some kind of appeal of the judge permitting the jury to handle the gun…

Medical school (wife) and law school (me,) respectively. To be fair, my contribution to this debt is paltry compared to her end.

I am perplexed that Joe didn’t make it to the final two, and even more perplexed that she chose man-child-fuck-boi over Brandon. Don’t get me wrong, he seems like a nice enough guy, but not even his own parents thought he was ready for this kind of commitment.

I mean.... I personally wouldn’t have admitted that no matter what the Dems say or do or don’t do they’ll have my vote regardless but do you I guess?

Look at the language I quoted and responded to—I was specifically pushing back against the implication that the promise of student loan relief got Joe Biden elected. You’re disappointed Joe Biden isn’t doing better? Hey, me too. But the man could have made zero promises about anything, and flipped me the bird before…

I’m not making normative statements about what should or will happen in all elections, or how elections operate generally—this was a descriptive statement regarding the 2020 Presidential election.

Apparently, that promise of debt forgiveness was good enough to get elected, but not good enough to go through with.

It’s neither new nor novel to draw parallels between terrible modern day laws and regulations (on the one hand,) and literal historical atrocities (on the other,) in order to justify polemical flourishes. People compare things that are not slavery to slavery all the time (ditto the Holocaust, genocide generally,…

I doubt if a mental health professional would have been of any use since a gun was involved.

Second degree manslaughter, under these circumstances and facts, should not be so heavy a lift.

“I don’t mean a play on words, but it’s forced labor.”

Conservatives benefit from the fact that the Republican party has rigged the electoral system so they can win with a minority of votes, which means they have fewer people they need to keep happy. On top of that, they are the explicitly the party of straight, white, Christian heteronormativity, so in addition to…
